I noticed quite recently that my machine goes alittle strange. I started
getting event 333 errors in the system event log.

This occured a few times and was resolved by a restart, how ever now if i
enter the registry (regedit) and either search or browse. it seems to then
cause these errors and at the latest attempt it has corrupted eventlogs.

Aswell as this happening, now when the machine is shutting down, it
completes shutdown tasks and the little Windows is shutting down screen goes
away but it sits their for about 5 minutes with the hd light on constantly,
it may be longer i havnt bothered timing it.

I would rather not have to reinstall this machine, i have ran chkdsk /r on
both hds, aswell as running a diagnostic test on both drives which passed
with no errors. I have used msconfig to disable all non msft services, and
then renamed them.
